Home Ribbon

The Home Ribbon is context-sensitive, in that the menu items change to reflect what you can do based on where you are. For instance, the Home Ribbon has a different set of menu items in the Welcome window versus the Workspace:

The Workspace Home Ribbon includes the following menu items:

Menu Item	Description
Edit Section
Cut	Removes the selected item and places it on the Windows Clipboard. To place the item in a new location, select Paste.
Copy	Places a copy of the selected item on the Windows Clipboard. To place a copy of the item in a new location, select Paste.
Paste	Places the item(s) from the Windows Clipboard onto the area the cursor is placed on the page.
Remove	Removes the selected item from the page.
Undo	Undoes the last task.
Redo	Redoes the last undone task.
Arrange Section See Arranging Elements on a Page for more information on how these menus work.
Align	Aligns the selected items (more than one item must be selected using the CTRL key).
Order	Changes the order of objects. For example, you may want an embellishment to appear behind, or on top of a photograph.
Group	Group objects that you want to stay together (more than one item must be selected using the CTRL key).
Flatten	Flattening an object makes it a simple graphic. This can be done with text or rotated pictures. This option allows you to add various effects to the item (e.g., shadow, color change).
Rotate	Allows you to rotate and flip items.
Project Section
Add Page	Adds a blank page or template page to your project.
Recover Page	Recovers (i.e., undeletes) a previously deleted page. This option is more powerful that Undo, as it only keeps track of page deletions and can be used regardless of how many actions were performed since the last deleted page.
Page Section
Template	Changes the page style but keeps the current photos and text.
Coordinate	Coordinates the colors of the elements on the page with the selected image.
Background	Changes the background of the page while keeping all the elements in place.
